I thought I had ordered the original on blu ray, turns out I'd ordered this version, which I didn't know existed.
First off, there's a pretty wonderful introduction from Morgan Freeman, that led me to think I was in for a treat.....
...The thirty section Cesarian section was enough, sadly it was downhill from hereon in.
Not all bad, some positives, I thought Ron Perlman was excellent, and best of all was the location, Bulgarian forests always make for amazing visuals, this was no exception.
Sadly the bad outweighed the good, the first thing, the music was at odds with the film, it jarred the whole way through, it was irritating, and almost felt like it belonged on another movie.
I thought some of the acting was awful, James Earl Jones, and a few others were woeful.
The worst element, the actual storytelling, now I'm not saying the original is a masterpiece, but it's definitely interesting, they managed to dumb it right down, and make it just about a string of action sequences, no story at all.
Momoa, I like him, I think he'd so much more than just the hot guy lead, but sadly that's what he is here, the script he's working with is pretty awful.
This was a shocker, 4/10.
